Glossary
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
ABS distributes the braking forces acting on the indi-
vidual wheels so that none of the wheels lock up for long,
even during emergency braking, and the vehicle remains
largely steerable.
Acceleration skid control (ASR)
ASR prevents the wheels from spinning when starting off
on slippery surfaces. It only ever provides the amount of
power the driven wheels are capable of transmitting to the
road. Wheelspin, for example on icy roads, is prevented by
the application of precisely metered braking power.
Electronic level control Cathodic dip priming
Passengers and luggage are not always spread evenly Cathodic dip priming is an electrochemical process in
around the vehicle, meaning that the vehicle level differs which the bodyshell is coated in an immersion bath. It is
from wheel to wheel. The electronic level control system ideal for painting complex structures and large quanti-

applied on the whole bodyshell without missing a spot.

brake, the electronic braking system provides many
benefits. During braking, the control unit initially actuates
the auxiliary brake (retarder). If greater deceleration is
required, the control unit uses information from the data
network to determine the optimum braking pressure for
each axle. The electronic braking system allows far shorter
braking distances as well as substantially reducing brake
disc and pad wear.
